For Valentines Day....

....My Sweet as can be husband, had flowers delivered to my work on Saturday the 13th. They were too pretty to just put in the break room, so I left them up front as the centerpiece. I had all the girls drooling....:) They were gorgeous and........

......HUGE!!!!! The flower arrangement was massive, and weighed a ton!!!


And now they are the centerpiece for the kitchen table. :) Love them!

My hubby also opened up an Angels card at Victoria's Secret for me. This is VERY dangerous. VS is my MOST favorite store ever!! I could live in their sweat outfits and cute summer clothes!! My first purchase was this darling sweat outfit...

Sweat pants with matching jacket....

Only I got them in purple!! (not yellow) I just could not find a pic of them in purple, other than this little pic. I looooove it and cant wait to wear it!!

Thanks hubby!!! Love u!!

My little Lucky Charm!!

On Tuesday night we went to dinner for my nephews B-day. Like any other day, we took the dogs over to my in laws since they have a fenced yard, and dropped them off while we went to celebrate. A few hours later we went back and picked them up, ready to go home to bed. They were both in the backyard when we got them, but Dobby came in limping, holding his front left leg up. We looked at it and saw an abrasion on his leg where some skin and fur had been scraped off. We knew it was not a dog bite, so I started to think maybe he tried to squeeze through the fence to the neighbors yard. I later got a phone call from my mother-in-law. The neighbor from across the street came over to report: Dobby was RUN over by a car!! Now when I say run over, I mean he was under the car as it drove over him. The women driving said she "ran over" him, but did not feel a "thump". She got out to check and Dobby stood there in shock for a minute and then ran off. Somehow Dobby managed to stay between the tires!! She left her name and number at the neighbors house, because she was worried about him and wanted me to call her and let her know if he was ok. How nice huh?? We took Dobby to the vet the next morning. Not one broken bone! Only a few scrapes. Can you say miracle?? I am still in shock that my little Dobby only had a few scrapes. Someone was looking out for us....
The vet said "He must have good luck because he has a 4 leaf clover collar." I thought that was cute! And now he is my little Lucky Charm!!



Here is Dobby with his legs wrapped up in the Camoflauge Gauze that they gave us at the vet. Poor guy is holding his hurt leg up.


Dobby wearing his "lucky" four leaf clover collar.

I'm such a slacker

Holy Cow!! What happened to me? I used to be so on top of my blog and always updating it! I can't believe how awful I have been at keeping up on my blog and also commenting on everyone else's blogs!! :S
Please forgive me, I need to find some pictures and think of something fun to post, otherwise I will just end up posting about food!!
:) Love you all!!

Oh the Holidays....

Yep, you better believe it! That IS Jon Schmidt! We went with our friends Mike and Ashley to see his Christmas concert! Amazing!! Our hubbies dressed up in their uniforms and took us out!!

Ashley getting a CD signed by the cellist! He was awesome! Talk about talent.....

Next fun adventure...Gingerbread houses at the Robison's!! Pictured is Jon, Danny, Rebecca and Rebecca's friend Bethany.

Alayna concentrating very hard on her work....

I'm a little behind. I think mine took 3 hours to make!!!


Jon and his finished product!

What a creative guy he is. This is his gas station, with a motorcycle and a car parked inside, and two gas pumps outside with licorice handles and pretzel pumps!!

Time for a break I guess!

Yummmmmmyyy!!

Here is my masterpiece! I guess I was wishing I was somewhere warm and tropical, and was therefore influenced on my gingerbread house! Mine is located on an Island in Hawaii, complete with a palm tree, a fire, rocks, fish, a surfer dude, native Hawaiins (gummi bears) and a gras hut! (Thanks for letting me have some rabbit bedding for my roof, Becky!!)

So Proud!!

Me and my "little" (14 years old and about 5'9) sister! She is apparently crouching down to match my height!

Cutest Christmas doughnuts ever!!

Presents on Christmas Eve under my parents tree!

Me and my children on Christmas morning! Jon is a big Utes fan, I dont' really care bout sports. But I will wear ANY team that has cute apparel!! (Thanks Jon for the cute Utes Shirt!!)

You better believe we are matching!!

And, last but not least, my work Christmas Party!! Here we are playing "Win, Lose, or Draw" We ate yummy Mexican food at a place out in Ogden. It was a blast!


The artists...

I can NEVER, for the LIFE of me, get Jon to take a "normal" photo....

My turn to draw!!

Playing "Catch Phrase" next!

What a fun party! They took great care of us this year, giving away awesome prizes! My bosses for work are Bernice (pink shirt) and her husband Brian (to the right of her). I LOVE my work, and could not have asked for a better job. Love the girls I work with and am so grateful to have a job in this economy!

For new years, Jon and I, and our friends Nick and Jen, went to Olive Garden for dinner and then went and saw Sherlock Homles. Good movie! After that, Jon and I made it home by eleven thirty, just in time to spend the New Year with the Doggies!! :) Yep, they are like children to us. We have had a great Holiday season and are so grateful for our families and friends. Can't wait to see what 2010 brings us!!

Any Ideas???

So, Jon and I are planning a vacation in february or march!! We have a few ideas, but would appreciate any suggestions if anybody has any reccomendations! We have talked aboout cruises vs. not a cruise. We have talked about South America, so I can speak Spanish! Costa Rica, Panama, and we have also thrown around the idea of Australia/New Zealand!! We can't decide if we want to do a cruise! Jon wants to but I dont know if I do!! Ideas/Suggestions would be great!!

$125...and Counting....

This($125) may not seem like a lot, but when you figure between Jon and I(when I say "Jon and I", what I really mean is "Jon has purchased, but I have used!) we have purchased 5 twenty five dollar gift cards for ourselves in the past month and they are all GONE!!! Special: "Buy a $25 gift card and get a free 16 oz of your choice!" "On what??" you may ask.....An addiction I have. MINIMUM 5 days a week, if not 6. I can't live without it.
My order:
16 ounce (or 20 ounce, depending on the day) Chunky Strawberry from Jamaba Juice
Yes I would like a Free Boost
No lid, I'll eat it as soon as I get in my car!
Cheddar tomatoe bread twist
Yes, heated up please.
Total: $8.01 (times 5-6 days a week. Yep! It adds up!!)
But...It is SOOOOOOOOOO worth it!!
